Children shall be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Indoor use only. Keep this device away from rain, moisture, splashing and
dripping liquids. Never put objects filled with liquids on top of or close to the

Do not use near inflammable products or in explosive atmospheres. Heat can cause
fire to inflammable products even when they are not in sight. Only use in properly
ventilated rooms.
Incorrect use may cause fire.
Do not touch the shafts, tips, or hot soldering iron as this can cause serious burns.
Keep the tips away from the body, clothes, or other flammable material. Do not
aim the soldering iron at the eyes. Use gloves and/or heat-resistant tools to pick up
the PCB assembly to prevent burns. Always return the irons and gun to their stands
between uses; always let the device cool down after use and before storage.
Place the device on a level, stable, and fire resistant working surface.
Do not inhale solder fumes. The vapours that are released during soldering are
harmful. Therefore, you shall only use the soldering station in well-ventilated areas
or under an exhaust hood (solder fume extractor). Dispose of fume filters and
solder residue in accordance with local regulations.
Never use the device on live electronic circuits. Make sure power to the work piece
is cut and capacitors are discharged.
Do not block the blow head. This may cause heat reflection and may damage the
heating element.
Warning! This tool must be placed on a stand when not in use; do not leave the
tool unattended when switched on.
